[QUOTE="Rimfire, post: 1044987, member: 8839"] This was an informative great read that thoroughly touched on one aspect of barrels. Unfortunately there are other factors that are as important or more so at times and not as easy to control. We have seen the loss of Crucible Steel that put a bump in the road, we have seen growing pains in some companies with demand that makes it difficult to keep up supply, so at times quality suffers often times where time and manual labor is concerned, in the form of lapping. There have also been companies that have been very consistent throughout. Major wins in BR or new world record cause some to immediately look at what barrel was used also. If your smith is accuracy driven, open minded (not stuck on one barrel) they often know what is consistent and working and if there have been some current issues with a given barrel maker. It all depends on what level of accuracy you are looking for, do you order one blank or ten and pick the best. Currently my two best barrels are on a 6br and 6.5x47L and one is cut and the other is buttoned. [/QUOTE]
